Project

The EU Infopoint aims to bring the Turkish Cypriot community closer to the European Union by providing information on the EU legal and political order and the EU Aid Programme for the Turkish Cypriot community.

In doing so, the aim is to increase public knowledge, awareness, and understanding of the European Union, its values, policies and programmes.

The EU Infopoint provides services, which enables the Turkish Cypriot community to obtain information,

about EU priorities, values, legislation, policies, programmes and funding opportunities. The main communication is based on providing detailed information to Turkish Cypriots about EU related activities and policies directly having an impact on people’s daily lives and to allow the community to exchange views on such activities.

The EU Infopoint welcomes the general public, as well as civil society organizations, media, academia, schools, companies and the rural community members to visit the public space and to join the various events organised by the Infopoint.
